SOZO SUSHI BAR

Well tonight I was craving Sashimi and I knew just where I wanted to go…and it didn't hurt that I could walk there from my house!

But, I do want to tell you about what I ordered and how wonderful it was and talk a little bit about some of the other items that I have enjoyed there over the past couple of years. This is one of the places (if you are ever in Fort Lauderdale) that is worth visiting. It is a neighborhood place that consistently delivers a high quality product and it has that great easy-going relaxed atmosphere. So go and tell Mo that I sent ya!

Sozo Sushi Bar, 2632 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors, FL 33305 * www.sozosushibar.com

Tonight I had a double order of Ceviche, it is prepared daily and is always the chef's choice. He never lets me down…the chef is Sam. I asked him to incorporate Avocado into mine as I saw it sitting there on the bar and it made me want it…of course that was no problem. I was practically drooling and the other customers were like – "is it good"? "I wish I had ordered that." I know that I should have offered to share – but I just could not, I had been waiting all day for that delicacy. Their regular price for Ceviche is $6.00 and a double order is $12.00…worth every penny!

Next I had the Chef's Choice – 9 Pieces of Sashimi. It never fails to amaze me how he adds a new fish here or there and I am always amazed. He knows by now that I am not a fan of eel, so maybe that is why it is never on there? But he did get me to try Sushi that had eel on it once – and it was okay. I think he was disappointed that he didn't convert me…lol. This dish is $19.00. Again, compared to a lot of places and pricing – very worth it! I had a Lite Samporo Beer (Japanese Beer) with the meal.

Other items that I have had on the menu and recommend are the Miso Soup, Spicy Seafood Soup (rice noodles with assorted vegetables in a light tomato broth), seaweed salad, crab shumai (steamed dumplings), the following Sushi Rolls: The Sozo, Princess, New Yorker, Gaysha, Rainbow and Sozolicious. There is always a Chef's Choice on Sushi and Sashimi and you can't go wrong there either.

So go and sit outside on The Drive or nestle up to the bar (both facing the chef or outside) or sit at one of the few quaint tables. I promise you will have a wonderful meal.

Well, this is my first attempt at reviewing a restaurant and I am sure that there is room for improvement on my part. But I thought I should write about places where I eat out at – if I wanted to recommend them…so I am doing just that!

My friend Gregory and I are supposed to go out to dinner tomorrow night…maybe I will have more to write about? We will see if it "cuts the mustard" or the "wasabi" in this case.

Let me know if you do visit this place and I would love to hear what you think.

~Enjoy and Sayonara~
